FPV and Drone drop tactics currently used in the war in Ukraine is not new.

Infact the Nigerian Air Force might have pioneered this concept.

Nigerian Air Force made drone in 2017 armed with an RPG.

President Ruto of Kenya visits the US on a State visit. This is the first State visit of an African leader in 16 years since John Kufuor of Ghana in 2008.

President Biden will also designate Kenya a major non-NATO ally during the visit. Kenya will become the second country in Africa after Morocco to have such relationship with the US.

MAN1960:



In 2018 President buhari of Nigeria had an official visit to the United States under the request of donald trump, so I don't understand the part where you said ( since 2008 ) and I took note of how happy you are while typing this nonsense

Faithful007:


I won't trade words with you. I clear things the very last time and won't be responding to you anymore.

I never disagreed with your trade points at all but only for suggesting that the MNNA is a facade (Which I bolded in my response). Military assistance has always been a US diplomatic tool for a long time and there's absolutely nothing wrong with accepting assistance/guarantees when you have security challenges to fill. There are many US allies that have developed economies but still use US military assistance because they understand the mutual benefits. Everything should not be pushed into a colonial narrative.

Israel still relies heavily on US military aid, Singapore as well, South Korea, Canada and so on. It is also economically wiser (In terms of PPC) to do so. These countries have the ability to pursue their own defense industry, but it is just economically unwise. A country that tries to do everything on its own will find little room for growth.

And besides this is primarily a military page not one for economics.

Fidha254:
Those were my sentiments too, this has the potential to benefit Kenya more on the long term than the other stuff.


I will repost a story I had posted before about a Kenyan Company called STL



And now with the seal of approval by US government and government-to-government agreement, it means more US and even EU companies won't have to worry about security concerns of tech from Kenya or long-term partnerships being disrupted because of politics.

MAN1960:


This is why this countries don't have defense industries, tell me why France refuses to buy American jets because the US will use it as an opportunity to kill your home grown defense industry by doing so it makes you over dependant on the US which makes you a good vasal

check the difference

State Visit: It involves elaborate ceremonies, state dinners, and military honors. These visits are planned well in advance and serve to solidify strong ties between two nations.

Official Visit: Similar to a state visit but with a slightly less formal program. It's typically made by heads of government to discuss bilateral relations, economic cooperation, or other important topics.

Working Visit: A more focused visit aimed at addressing specific issues or attending conferences and international events. Working visits involve meetings with government officials and experts but have less emphasis on ceremony.

Listen man. If you must question me, do it politely. Thank you.
